New Gundalian Invaders Gameplay F.A.Q is out !!

[Stronger]

It doesn't help as much as I thought it would. Its only repeating what the rules that came with the Triad said.

Well actually it clarified that ANY Bakugan can use gear, whether with or without pegs, NV, B2, Special Attack, etc. or whatever ! 

SO this means QUAKE DRAGO can use Battle Gear ! EPIC !

Theres one part that I'd like clarified more, its the part about using Series 1 and 2 cards. Its a given that Seres 1 cards won't be used. But for Series 2 cards, it just says eventually you won't use them but doesn't say that you can't in a normal match. Only unless both players agree to it. So still somewhat confused.

Well it seems to say that you can use current Series 2 cards as well as Series 3 cards together. BUT HSP cards ?? NAHHH...

I say if a tournament was held tomorrow, you could use ANY Season 2 or Season 3 cards. You could also use any combination of Season 2 or Season 3 Bakugan. I really don't think B1 should be allowed, but that is really not a big deal. Why not give all the kid collectors and brawlers a chance to use and keep their entire Bakugan collection rather than have to face obsolescence.

I personally like the backwards compatibility thing.

GI cards have power levels but dole out the g-power HEAVY HANDEDLY. I think they will OVERPOWER the series two cards and really force people to switch over to them or be at a major disadvantage.

The Question I want answered is Can you deploy one of your Attribute changing traps in battle AND use a battle gear in battle, both affecting the same Bakugan. NV Trap merely changes your color and gear gives you g-power. Can you deploy Battle Gear and then IF LOSING, drop in a NV trap to change to the higher gate bonus ?

THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.

Also, I want them to add that Special Evolution AND Super Assault Bakugan CAN USE Battle Gear ! Because it says Special Attack can ! SO it should be clearer.

[TeamBIB]

They did not clarify how many times you can use a battle gear per battle so does that mean we can put 1 gold and 1 bronze twin destructor into play at the same battle for an initial bonus of 190 G then if Im using a pyrus bakugan then use the ability for each destructor?

Yes, this is really the only question I have left at this point. Since you have TWO battlegear or TWO NV traps or 1 of each allowed in the 'battle' as the FAQ calls it (but they might be meaning 'match' or 'brawl' instead of 'battle'), What is the limit you can use of Battle Gear and/or Traps in ONE 'battle' of a brawl using just ONE of your Bakugan ? Both ? or Just one ? Or no more than one of each type if you even have that ?

I'm not sure it would be fair to be able to deploy 2 battle gear at same time, BUT I do think it makes sense that you may be able to drop a NV trap and change attribute for gate g-power bonus AND THEN drop a BattleGear weapon onto your newly minted attribute Bakugan's Back ?

So they need to UPDATE FAQ to answer these questions.

I will look back and EDIT my post after looking back again at specific language.

Anybody know the answer to the above ??

[Timess]

You should be able to use them both at the same time. The G's would stack. With the Trap and then Gear, so you could use it's ability should work as well. From what I can tell you can use a Trap to change to whatever and use another trap to change to whatever. Like Pyrus Dragonoid into an Aquos one then use an Aquos Trap into Pyrus again.....

SM needs to clear it up. I know two traps are possible but we need a ruling on how many can be used (gear or trap) per battle, per turn or per Bakugan. The gear are too powerful if they can be used all in 1 go. A 90 g and 100 g twin destructor is 190 G power plus if it's pyrus you can use the ability (flip coin) twice which is really broken.

[Bakuexpert]

So I'd prefer to use 1 trap and 1 gear per battle/game.

[BakuganSensei]

So I'd prefer to use 1 trap and 1 gear per battle/game.

I think this should be the limit as well. You can use up to a MAXIMUM of 1 attribute changing regulare trap AND 1 Battle Gear g-power boosting trap per individual Bakugan Battle.

It is not fair to have 2 BATTLE GEAR stacked at once on the back of only 1 bakugan ! But, it is also unfair to use a trap to attribute change and get gate bonus and then attribute change again and get another gate bonus ! There should be only 1 attribute gate bonus for a single attribute Bakugan.

So I think only 1 of each type per single bakugan gate card battle.

Here's the thing, I haven't been able to get onto the official forums and ask these questions above. So can someone here go and do it and GET CLARIFICATIONS for FAQ to this rule ?

Stronger, Kohdok, Timess, Sooners ? Anyone ?

I saw some other issues that other players pointed out (chance dragonoid G-power issue and using it to evolve into quake drago) and I think it would be better if someone could compile some prominent issues and have SM try to deal or answer them as a batch then pointing out single rules or issues that need clarification. SM also did not provide any information on how the walmart and target exclusives work and this needs to be addressed too since these have been become popular with both players and collectors.

Well the Walmart and Target Special Treatment get Special FX status and abilities. I really don't think they get anything other special except maybe Crimson and PEARL can maybe take highlighted bonus instead of their regular pyrus bonus.

BUT yes, we need clarification on this too.
